college, we continued our collaboration to realize the dream of the Dean toutilize the building and building systems as a practical teaching tool for faculty and students.Representatives from Trane and the engineering faculty met to brainstorm on ways we could utilize thebuilding as a teaching tool – we primarily expanded on existing lab experiments already in the curriculumto develop new laboratory experiments using instrumentation added to the new building’s hydronic systemas well as a dedicated heat pump system in the Thermal-Fluids lab with high-level instrumentation. Thisallowed for lab exercises calculating heat transfer, air flow, thermodynamics, hydronics, efficiencies, etc.The resulting lab curriculum benefits students insomuch as it

Scientists and Mathematicians are oftenmore focused around teaching, laboratory or other individualized tasks based on their workenvironments and therefore may not better value the importance of Team Work.Additional comments in the survey suggested that Emotional Intelligence, Software Skills,Interdisciplinary Thinking and Responsiveness to customer requirements also be incorporated inthe study. One participant stated that “Managers should understand the specific skills ofemployees and learn to delegate and assign work accordingly”.

overlooked;  Sharing known skills- Students who possess certain knowledge or skills (computer skills, laboratory skills, data analysis and reduction skills, writing skills, presentation skills, etc.) should be willing to pass it on, and/ or share it with their group members;  Collaborative skills- Groups cannot function effectively if members do not have (be willing to learn) or use some needed social skills. Such as: leadership, decision-making, trust building, and conflict management;  Monitoring progress- Groups need to discuss amongst themselves whether they are achieving their set goals.
